Scripting a build is better for learning
I've seen your scripts. they are totally not for learning a damned thing.
That is why I specifically never post instructions like this in a script form.

What? How are bash scripts not for learning?
I learn so much more going over scripts than I would any other way. The more efficient they are written, the more I learn.

Did you look at his thread? there is no learning. it is "run this"
That is always how he writes them up.
There is zero wrong with that approach. It is in fact a better way to do it if you just want to tell someone go here and do this and it will work.
But that is not what I write my guide to do. My guides are guides that you perform everything step by step.

Oh I see what you mean. I agree.
But...
I think Scott meant writing a script or reading a script is great for learning, I don't think he meant copy and pasting a line that is fully automated. -

Writing a script is more for learning than writing a state is. Because a state might work without any info or interaction from you.

Okay, that makes more sense.

I have a Nextcloud instance running on Hyper-V using a 500GB dynamically expanding disk that is working perfectly. I can see that it's barely using any of the space. I followed these instructions for creating a Nextcloud instance on Fedora and when I use a dynamically expanding disk, for some reason, the install does not recognize it as a full 500GB disk so after uploading a few large test files, I'm out of space at around 10GB. The Nextcloud instance is on a Fedora 27 minimal install.
Any ideas where I may have gone wrong? I used this command to create the disk:
New-VHD -Path C:\MyVHDs\nextcloud.vhdx -SizeBytes 500GB -Dynamic -BlockSizeBytes 1MBDoes Fedora not play well with dynamically expanding disks? I could instead create a fixed disk but I'd like to avoid that if I can.

Haven't tried that, but I would not expect it to like that.

So you're suggesting I'd stick to fixed disk instead? Curious as to why Ubuntu seems ok with it but Fedora isn't.

Requires a hook. I'm sure that there is a way to do it.

Last time I check, the default Fedora Server install will only partition enough for its need. But leave the rest untouched.

Looks like you might be right. Cockpit only shows the root and boot mounts for a total of 16GB.
-
I used Cockpit to expand the root folder to the max allowable which recognized the 500GB disk. Now shows correctly:
Logged back into Nextcloud and I've now got access to the expanded storage. Sweet!

@nashbrydges I had the same issue on a Fedora install. I created a 3Tb dynamic disk and had to manually partition Fedora to get the full disk for /. This was Hyper-V 2016.

This is a normal Fedora tactic. I'll make a guide on this later or something.

@brandon220 Using Cockpit was ridiculously easy,
-
@jaredbusch Good to know. This was my first time using Fedora.

I have a 2 Tb Nextcloud install on Ubuntu (16.04) from a couple years ago. I need to migrate everything to a new server using Fedora but a migration seems harder than it should be. Hopefully I will tackle it soon. I've not had any issues with Ubuntu but everyone here seems to dislike it.
-
The default behaviour of a Fedora Server install is to just use what's needed. During install, you need to select the "custom" option and add space to your
/partition and/or add a/homeif you desire.See the first section of my post here: https://mangolassi.it/topic/16084/installing-fedora-27-lamp-stack-plus-wordpress

"Dislike" is strong. "Don't like compared to common alternatives" is better.
